60
basic factors that impact fitness (7)
genetics/age/sex, environment, social, stress, nutrition, levels of daily activity, education/economic
WHO indicates that physical activity can positively influence
psychological well-being, perceived function and stress levels (overall quantity of life)
WHO indicated that improved perceived function allows older individuals to
complete their activities of daily living and remain independent for a longer segment of their lifespan
in developed countries, the predominant causes of premature death are
controllable diseases
novice exercisers have an increased risk for the following when proper acclimation periods are not applied
muscle or tendon strains
ligaments sprains or tears
bone fractures
___ extremity injuries are reported the most
lower
exercise participation also includes the possibility of metabolic injuries and thermoregulatory issues such as _____, _____, ____, and ____
hypo- or hyperthermia
hypo- or hyperglycemia
hyponatremia
rhabdomyolysis
hyponatremia
below normal plasma sodium concentrations
can be caused by excessive water consumption and is most commonly seen during endurance training
rhabdomyolysis
life threatening; destruction of muscle tissue and subsequent release of muscle fiber content into circulation which can cause organ failure
hyperthermia
increase in body temp above normal levels which can lead to heat-related illness
hypothermia
decrease in body temp which can lead to diminished neuromuscular control, frostbite or death
hypo/hyperglycemia
abnormally low or high blood glucose levels
associated with diabetic conditions or poor nutritional habits
common injuries associated with jogging/running
torn cartilage, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, shin splints
common injuries associated with bicycling
ulnar nerve palsies, ischial bursitis, achilles tendonitis, low back pain
common injuries associated with swimming
shoulder pain, shoulder impingement
common injuries associated with aerobic dance
shin splints, plantar fasciitis
common injuries associated with tennis
epicondylitis, tendonitis
